THE CHICAGO AUDITORIUM.

IhE OuICAGO
Probably the plans for this building have
been the subject of greater amount of artis-
tic labor than those for any other building in
the west. For year or more a corps Of prom
inent architects have been at work on the de-
signs, and a dozen elevations, each huge
thing ten feet or more square, were drawn
before one was found which in all particu-
lars met the approval of the board of direc-
tors For six months fifteen skilled drafts
men have been hard at work on the working
drawings, of which there are 120 sheets about
4 feet by Z in size Forty copies being needed
of each, it follows that the architects port
folio comprises a volume containing 5000
mammoth sheets. Chicago does not profess
to be the greatest city in the world, but when
she goes in for big thing she generally gets
it with vengeance.
The stage of this auditorium is to be the best
in the world A Chicago architect spent three
months in Europe borrowing the best ideas
of the French and Germans The French
formerly excelled in stage manipulation, but
the Germans now lead, and this stage is to be
built on the German model In fact, there
are to be number of stages, of the lifting
type; and all scenery is to be raised or low
cred bodily, averting the nuisance of "flieS'
in the wings, cumbering up the space and
constantly in the way. The difficulty with a
grand opera stage is to find room enough for
the vast numbers of people employed in the
productions, and that difficulty is to be met
here by removing all the scenery and para
phernalia from the surface of the stage. To
dig and water proof the well into which the
stage settings are to be dropped cost the
builders nearly S50,000. The contract for the
iron to be used in the construction of this build
ing is said to be the largest ever given out,
1900 tons of material being required.

METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART.

Above are the galleries of paintings the
east devoted to the old masters and the west
to the modern school. Between these two are
long cases of rare pipes, snuff boxes, cutlery,
porcelain ware. etc.
And the people who go there are as varied
as the objects to be fosnd therein.
There is the bright, bustling school girl,
striving to crowd whole days work into
half am hour. The open eyed, smudge
faced street gamin, with his ever
ready criticism. The young person whose
education has been neglected and who finds
this an awful bore. The cultured young lady,
who has been there time and again, who
always gushes over the same " Madonna and
Child" The professional artist, with his
quiet appreciation or condemnatory express
sion of cCuntenance. The old connoisseur
the park policeman, the nursemaid, the
baby, the unemployed young man and
the retired old one, all flock here on
the free days. For be it known, the pay
days are favored by my lady in her car
riage, who disburses twenty five cents on Mon
days and Tuesdays for what she could view
gratis on other days. Some things are rushed
by, some are dwelt before for an hour. In
some is found a Renaissance of the country
lane or the stretch of sea shore Of childbood's
days. Here, III a pictured face, may be the
counterfeit presentment Of living countenance,
there the perfect expression of something we
have dreamt or thought. The old Bibles.
too, with their gaudily colored and impossi-
bly, formed prophets and good men, are often
and curiously viewed.
The museum has increased greatly in size and
interest since it found its present abiding place
in Central park. Formerly it occupied quarters
in musty old brown stone building on
Fourteenth street. now the home of furnt-
ure store and lager beer saloon Probably
the saloon has more customers in day than
the museum had visitors in a week But pri-
vate philanthropy took the struggling infant
to its arms. Foreign consuls world travellers,
esthetically inclined merchants and dilet-
tante bankers. who fonnd recreation and
pride in securing the earth for artistic treas
ures, generously dumped these treasures
into the vacant cases and corners of the
Metropolitan. Some of the collections are
merely loaned, while others have been gifts
and bequests outright All is not good that
is contained within its walls. From grave to
gay, from grand to mediocre, its contents
range.
Many of the directors of the museum are
ayerse to opening it on Sundays, while the
board of aldermen has issued a resolution in
its favor No matter how the question is de-
cided the institution, while not equaling the
Corcoran Art gallery and one or two other
collections in some particular department, is
without doubt the best in our part of the
world.

AN AMERICAN PRODUCT.
THE FINE NEW STEAMSHIP POCA-
HONTAS.

Some of the Reasons Why 1t Will Be
One of the Fastest Boats Afioat, if Not
the Fastest-Great Expectations of Her
Projectors.
An American steamship is building which,
in addition to being a purely American pro-
duct, designed by an American, built by
American method, without an ounce of
foreign material in her composition or a dol
lar of foreign capital invested in her, promises
to revolutioniZe ocean steam navigation.
This ship is to be called the Pocahontas, a
glorious old American Indian name that will
make the hearts of Virginians-who are all
descendants of Pocahontas-glow with pride.
She is to be built in Virginia. too-at Alex
andria, dear, sleepy old town of the past. Her
future, as forecast by her engineer and inven-
tor, Mr.. Robert NJ. Fryer, and many others
who are interested in her. is most promising.
She is to be an ocean carrier that cannot be
sunk or burnt; that can cross the Atlantic in
less than six days with absolute safety and
unexampled speed, and afford to passengers
such luxurious comfort as will make sea
vOyaging dream of delight.
1ne AffOW steamship company nave the
Pocahontas under their wing, and they pro-
mise to have her afoat with the Stars and
Stripes floating above her before the snow flies
next winter. Her patent was issued on the
18th Of January last, and is the most compre
hensive ever granted in the United States.
She ought to be something splendid. Inven-
tor Fryer has devoted twenty-one years to
her development.
She is not to carry freight. Oh, no. Pas
sengers, treasure, express matters and mail
will be all she will accommodate. Her model
can be seen at the Arrow Steamship COM
pany's Office, at 115 Broadway, New York.
She is narrow, and the long fining down
of her lines, fore and aft, shows that speed
and not capacity of hold has been the first
consideration. Her length over all is $40
feet; between perpendiculars, 515 feet; beam
40, feet; extreme depth 46, feet; draught
at bow, 20 feet, and at stern, % feet 8 inches;
tonnage, 5000 tons; capacity of engines,

for development to $1,000. From her bow,

How the Sunday Opening Plan is Pro-
gressing.

How the Sunday Opening Plan is Pro-
crossing.
When the question of opening the New
York museums to the public on Sundays was
first proposed it had many less adherents than
it has now At that time-Several years ago
even those citizens inclined to liberalism felt
very delicate about handling the Sun
day question. 1t was an untried and
seemingly dangerous experiment, COM
plete change from old customs, opposed
to old laws and old sentiments. Since
then, however, the public has either
grown long way toward the Sunday open
ing or it has grown nearer to them. Perhaps
its progress was helped along by the success
which met the Introduction of music into
Central park on Sundays. This is now an
established Sunday amusement, and de
corous one withal. SUNDAY" say those who
favor Sunday opening, ''is the laborlng
mans day Art and music are educators;
not only educators, but apostles and makers
of prOSelvtes. There is no way during the
week when these two, man and art, can reach
one another Yet they should and must
come together.n On the other hand 1t IS
held that the proposed innovation will tend
to greatly increase the desecration of the
Sabbath, which the opponents of the plan
hold is already too general in New York.
The Metropolitan Museum is almost free
that is, an admission fee of twenty-five cents
is charged on Mondays and Tuesdays while the
four following days no charge is made. 1t IS
situated in one of the most beautiful parts of
Central park, almost directly opposite the
Obelsk, that Egyptian monolith that cost
one Of the Nanderbilts 100000 to bring to
this country. The Museum building is of red
brick, with white marble trimmings. 1t does
not present at all handsome appearance, the
style of architecture being unimpreSsive, and
the marble trimmings are stained with the
lapse of years. The building, however,
is not yet finished, as a new wing is
to be added on the side shown i'll
the picture. The basement floor contains
a collection of laces, tapestries, etc, calcu-
lated to attract and hold the admiring eyes Of
lady visitors. There is also on this floor
most interesting exhibition of Mexican and
Indian art. On the first floor the statuary
finds room. Handsome cases, containing col
lections of rare old glass and silver ware, are
ranged around the room, and at one end are
a number of Indian tombs and idols. The
actors monument to Edgar Allan Poe is at
the main entrance to the floor
